The IPRH Research Clusters initiative enables faculty and graduate students in the humanities and arts from the Urbana campus to develop questions or subjects of inquiry that require or would be enhanced by collaborative work. IPRH is pleased to announce below the IPRH Research Clusters for the 2019-20 year. Please join us in congratulating the successful applicants.
